Elisabeth Kardos Kaponyi, whose delicate balance of encouragement and criticism helped me to keep my scientific focus on track. I am also pleased to acknowledge the scientific and/or theoretical support of a number of researchers, academics, and university professors as well as diplomats and politicians across Europe. In alphabetical order these are: Bakk Miklós, Bárdi Nándor, Bárður Larsen, Blahó András, Graham Donnelly, Gordos Árpád, Günther Rautz, György- Mózes Árpád, Heidi Öst, Izsák Balázs, Kántor Zoltán, Kardos Gábor, Kiss Eszter, Lauri Hannikeinen, Markku Suksi, Richard Berry, Sarah Stephan, Sergiu Constantin, Tom Mullen, Varga Attila. I had the privilege to base this dissertation on research conducted in some of the most renowned scientific centres, such as the European Academy of Bolzano/Bozen (EURAC), the University of Glasgow, or the Åbo Akademi in Finland. Furthermore, the methodological guidelines of the Corvinus University of Budapest proved to be particularly useful throughout the whole research process. Equally essential was the financial support provided by the Balassi Institute, the Erasmus Traineeship scheme of the EU, as well as the Szekler National Council, through which I was able to conduct my research abroad. Writing this dissertation entailed considerable periods of absence from home, placing additional burden on my relatives. Consequently, I express my most sincere gratitude to my family, and most of all to my wife Melinda, for her unconditional support and patience throughout this long process. 8 Abbreviations CCR Constitutional Court of Romania CCS Constitutional Court of Spain CI Constitution of Italy CR Constitution of Romania CS Constitution of Spain CLRA Congress of Local and Regional Authorities of the Council of Europe CoE Council of Europe DAHR Democratic Alliance of Hungarians in Romania DIICOT Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism (Direcția de Investigare a Infracțiunilor de Criminalitate Organizatăși Terorism) DNA National Anticorruption Directorate (Direcţia Naţională Anticorupţie) DOM-TOM Overseas Departments and Territories (départements et territoires d'outre-mer) DL Draft Law on Autonomy of the Szekler National Council DSF Day of the Szekler Freedom ECHR European Convention on Human Rights EU European Union FCPNM Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities ICCPR International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights ICESCR International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights LCM Legislative Consent Motion 9 NGO Non-governmental organization NSAC New Statute of Autonomy of Catalonia OSCE Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe PACE Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe PD Democratic Party (Partidul Democrat) PDL National Liberal Party (Partidul Naţional Liberal) PSD Social Democratic Party (Partidul Social Democrat) SzNC Szekler National Council SRI Romanian Intelligence Service (Serviciul Român de Informaţii) TA Territorial Autonomy UN United Nations Venice Commission European Commission for Democracy through Law 10 Chapter 1 1 Introduction 1.1 Relevance and structure of the analysis With approximately 650.000 members, the Hungarian-speaking Szekler community is one of the largest nationalities of Europe that has not yet obtained any kind of autonomy.

Introduction The emergence of regions, the regionalisation of space and society, the reworking of territorial and social structures are undoubtfully strongly connected to the development of society. Social theories explaining social transformation become in this context vital, but it is quite difficult to theorise the new spatiality in transition countries like Romania and therefore we can note the first major problem which affects the analysis of socio-spatial phenomenas. Some authors were seeking to theorise transition in Romania, J. Häkli (1994), D. Sandu (1996, 1999), V. Pasti et. al. (1997), W.

About Jász World Days After nearly twenty years, Jászberény is the host of Jász World Days again. Firstly Jász people met in 1995 in Jászberény to remember their ancentors with decorum on the 250th anniversary of redemption, the self-realese of Jász people. Participants remembered for those predecessors who redeemed their liberty in 1745 by purchasing their rights from the authority of the Teutonic Order. Redempters who founded the Jász Ternary District, which was an independent public adminitration unit, counted their freedom and autonomy the most import values. Maintian of historical traditions, preservation of Jász culture, presentation of Jász settlements, affirmation and presentation of Jász identity to visitors have became the permament aims of the program. Among realized programs, we regurarly find pontificial mess, inauguration of the Jász captain, fancy pageant of the Jász settlements, diplay of Jász artistic groups and cfaftsmen, exchange of ideas, organization of concerts and exhibitions. In the last 18 years, all Jász settlements were hosts of moved Jász people and people who still live in Jászság. The greatest part of participants of the more and more popular Jász World Days programs are people who identify themselves as Jász people but there are more intersted person from the outside world as well. So much so that number of guests reached several thousand in the past twenty years. As the interest intensified about the World Days, the range of programs broadened.

  • Tomory, Zsuzsa a New View of the Arthurian Legends
    A NEW VIEW OF THE ARTHURIAN LEGENDS Susan V. Tomory FOREWORD King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table, the stories of Merlin and Sir Lancelot are all part of the ancient memories of a people who barely emerge from the clouds of time. The first written document about the Round Table came from the works of Wace of Jersey, entitled Roman de Brut, dated 1155 A.D[1] The legend’s origin reaches back into a distant past we arrogantly call pre-history, even though it contains the greater and most decisive part of our human history. Although the legends of King Arthur come from a magical age their message is still relevant to us — all too rational residents of this century — as myth and history unfold in all our lives, just as much as it did at the time of Arthur. The Arthurian legend is intertwined with the very fabric of British thought and became its Holy Grail, in which 1 all quests and dreams, dictated by our higher nature, have come to rest through untold centuries. The traditions of the legend are very actively adhered to even today, as evidenced, for instance, by the caring of the ravens in the hope of Arthur’s return and with him the re-establishment of a new Golden Age. As more knowledge becomes available through research, concerning the origins of the Arthurian legends, the mist of time begins to lift. People, places and events take on a more and more discernible shape. From this new knowledge, new questions arise and new answers have to be found.

  • Nartamongć 2017 Vol. Xii, N 1, 2 Géza Szabó Eastern Myth
    NARTAMONGÆ 2017 VOL. XII, N 1, 2 GÉZA SZABÓ EASTERN MYTH ELEMENTS IN THE WEST IN LIGHT OF THE Nart SAGAS AND THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL FINDS OF THE CARPathian BASIN Дзасохты Музаферы 80 азы бонмæ While researching the Indo-European ancient mythology, Georges Duméz- il found a close connection between certain myths of the Caucasian, Italic, Celt- ic and Scandinavian people. One of the fundamental points of his works is that the mythic phenomena occurring in Caucasian epics had been taken on from the Indo-European language before its separation from the Indo-Iranian linguistic block, and while in Europe those were only preserved sporadically, their effects, due to the great migrations, can be traced as far east as Japan.1 Based on kinship names, he puts the separation of Indo-European and Indo-Iranian people to the post-matriarchate period of social development.2 Although it is undeniable that the Nart sagas3 contain features pointing to an earlier period, their final forma- tion could be dated to the beginning of the Iron Age, since the early part of the stories reflects this period. For instance, the word ‘bronze’ is not mentioned in the texts even once, meanwhile copper appears seven times, but always in some unusual role: a marvellous cauldron, a plate patching skulls, substituting a miss- ing ear, ornamenting a palace, etc., but there is no one time when it is a common utility tool. Clearly, iron has the most dominant role, mentioned over a hundred times in some form or other. Steel appears about forty times as the name of the material and on a dozen occasions as an attribute (e.g.

  • RESURGENT ROMANIAN NATIONALISM in the Wake of the Interethnic Clashes in Tirgu Mures March 1990
    RESURGENT ROMANIAN NATIONALISM In the Wake of the Interethnic Clashes in Tirgu Mures March 1990 Christoffer M. Andersen [email protected] B.A. Thesis in Politics & Society September 2005 Advisor: Tracy Dove ACKNOWLEDGEMENT The idea to write about this topic came over three years ago when I first heard about the incident. At that time I did not know how difficult it would be to find sources on the topic, especially English ones. I did finally, but not completely on my own; several people are worth mentioning and thanking. This paper does not fully reflect the complete and objective truth about the events, it is however my attempt of doing so. The people below have helped me come to that conclusion, but at the same time they are not responsible for what I have written. My advisor, Tracy Dove, has come with invaluable comments on the outline and content in the beginning of my research. My supervisor at Ethnocultural Diversity Resource Center in Cluj-Napoca, Monica Robotin, reviewed my paper and made me realize a few shortcomings, so did the President of the organization and head of the political faculty at Babes-Bolyai University in Cluj-Napoca, Levente Salat, who commented on pitfalls and theories I should be aware of. I’m in great gratitude to Gabor Adam who went out of his way to trace down an unpublished documentary on the events, and to Bori Kovacs who helped me translate the movie from Romanian and Hungarian into English. Amelia Gorcea helped me with small details I could not have otherwise found on my own.

  • A Magyarországi Jászok Nyelvemlékei – Források, Problémák, Új Adatok1
    Sárközy Miklós A magyarországi jászok nyelvemlékei – források, problémák, új adatok1 E tanulmány célja, hogy összefoglalja a középkori Magyarországra betelepült jászok nyelvemlékeinek forrásait, és elemezze a hazánkban eddig ismert jász nyelvemlékeket. Írásom segítségével egyben szeretném tágabb kontextusban tárgyalni a jászok nyelvi-etnikai származásának problémáit. Az iráni nyelvek és írások osztályozása az ó- és középiráni nyelvi korszakban Mint ismert, a jászok a 14. század során jelennek meg az írott és régészeti forrá- sokban a történeti Magyarország területén. Egybehangzó vélemények szerint a magyarországi jászok ősei a Kelet-Európa ellen indított mongol hadjáratok által kiváltott népmozgások következtében hagyták el szállásterületüket, az Észak- Kaukázust, a Don és a Volga folyók által határolt zónát. A jászok eredetével és nyelvi hátterével kapcsolatban a modern nemzetközi és magyar nyelvészeti szakirodalom egységes álláspontot képvisel: a jászok az iráni népek közé tartoztak, fennmaradt nyelvemlékeik pedig kivétel nélkül az iráni nyelvekhez köthetők, tehát egy indoeurópai nyelvet beszélő népcsoportról van szó. A jászok nyelvemlékei az iráni nyelveken belül egyértelműen és vilá- gosan az északkelet-iráni nyelvek közé (mint amilyen a jaghnóbi vagy az oszét) sorolhatók. Az iranisztika az iráni nyelvek történetét három nagy korszakra osztja, nyelvészeti sajátosságaik alapján pedig a kelet- és a nyugat-iráni nyelvek csoportjába sorolja őket. Ez a kelet-nyugati csoportosítás azonban csak az óiráni nyelvtörténeti korban hordozott tényleges
